If the eyeliner is brown or black, it should be successfully removed with a q-switched Nd:Yg laser. With that said, there are some permanent makeup inks that will oxidize (change) to different colors after the laser treatment. In the worst case, they can change to faded blue or orange, which makes them difficult to remove. In addition, because the laser treatment is on the eye, you would need the physician to use corneal shields to prevent any damage to the eye. Finally, q-switched lasers may cause some temporary hair loss to the eyelashes that may last up to several months. The physician you choose should be experienced in tattoo and permanent makeup removal and have the following three items: Q-swtiched Nd:Yg laser Q-swtiched Alexandrite or Ruby Laser (if the permanent makeup oxides to a much lighter color as discussed above) Corneal shields for eye protection. These are worn under the eyelids during treatment.
